According to CCTV, clashes along the Lebanon-Israel front are intensifying. In a statement released on Saturday, Lebanon's Ministry of Health said that since March 2, the death toll from Israeli attacks has risen to 3,371, while the number of injured has reached 10,129.

The ministry reported that at least 15 people were killed and many others wounded in Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks carried out across southern Lebanon on Friday night and Saturday morning.

The Israel Defense Forces stated on Sunday that strikes had been carried out against Hezbollah infrastructure in the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon and several other areas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said on Sunday that he had instructed the military to deepen and expand its control over Lebanese areas held by Hezbollah. The directive came after Israeli forces captured the Beaufort Ridge and the strategic fortress located at its summit in southern Lebanon.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the same day that the goal was to consolidate control over the captured positions, describing the capture of Beaufort Castle as a dramatic stage and a dramatic shift in the policy being pursued.
